Treatment for depression during breastfeeding is possible. There are antidepressants that are considered safe to use while breastfeeding. When a medication is prescribed, the benefits are weighed against the risks, taking into consideration the potential consequences of not treating the depression. It is important to remember that not addressing depression can have serious consequences. Starting with a lower dose of medication can help reduce the risk of side effects. It is recommended to discuss treatment options with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action based on your individual needs and medical history. Regular monitoring and adjustments can be made to ensure the treatment is effective and safe for both you and your baby.
